The privacy-focused search engine is asking the public where they stand on AI, arguing that AI features should always be optional.

What I would love from DDG is a search option that removes those crappy AI generated websites that fill 90% of results nowadays. Ironically, they would have to use some kind of use AI to do it (classifiers)

Boy howdy, do I have just the script for you!

Full disclosure: It doesn’t work. But the idea is nice: … that you could — perhaps in real life — identify AI-generated content. … so I wrote a framework that purports to do that.

Keyword density is not the only measure of gloss. There are others that have been developed to measure ratios between parts of speech. Unfortunately none of these distinguish sharply between pages that naturally convey genuine information and pages that have been designed to convey fluff for ulterior purposes. It is unlikely that combining measures of gloss will result in a tool that discriminates much better than keyword density by itself.

100%. Products and services that can filter out Ai slop will make so much money in the coming years. Users want valuable information and content, not recycled slop.
